You have plans. Maybe they are on paper, maybe they are still in your head. Either way, you need a licensed general contractor who can turn them into a house you actually live in.
Here is what that looks like with us.
We manage every phase of construction. Site prep. Foundation. Framing. Roofing. Plumbing. Electrical. HVAC. Insulation. Drywall. Paint. Tile. Cabinetry. Final finishes. We coordinate every trade under one license and one schedule.
We pull all permits. We pass all inspections. We build to Florida code and we engineer for the storms this state is known for.
